Any one got an old "Teddy Bear" roof lining laying around from a replacement job? I'm just looking for two 10" x 8" bits of material to make covers for the DVD screens on the back of my head rests. Primarily to keep the sun off them, but also to make them less obvious to the Yobbos in Tesco's...

Cheers Nick, that one on E-Bay looks well modifiable. I've placed my bid. Bigeeeee. Yeah it was the Watling site that got me convinced on this. They are pretty expensive though, and don't list one for a Rangie. gf .. Yep that's the ultimate, but expensive answer I guess, but...

Anyone seen a front tow ball fitting kit available for RR Classic? Or maybe just pictures of how it's done. I'd like to fit two offset balls to the front of my Classic for Caravan manoeuvring. I've also stumbled accross a couple of items that others may consider usefull ... Electric Winch...

There ya go, I had to wait 'til it stopped rainin'! Click on pic to get bigger view. Second pic may give a guide to manufacturer? Johnny.

Dunno who made it, but I have actually got one of these. I bought it S/H off Ebay in readiness for converting my Classic to LPG. I'm not so sure that I will be proceeding with the LPG fit now, so I may not fit it. It weighs 5 times the original bumper, without a wheel on it. It came off of a...

I looked at an tried a few deisel conversions before I found this one Norseman. Deffo won't be going down that route. LPG is still a possibility, but only if a suitable second hand set up crops up. The savings just aren't enough to warrent the cost of a new fit. I was tempted by a rig on E-bay...

Cheers Joe. Pleased ta meet ya. Allow me to introduce the Duchess to ya ... She likes to drink a bit and roar at the neighbours too.:D Johnny.

I'd never use a bad word about Romford, mate. Loved it there as a Kid/teenager, but I'm 67 now and I ain't comin' back. Johnny.

That made me smile ... my 'other car' is a '69 Jag 380 (upgunned Mk2). So the mpg of a Rangie don't frighten me. Weekly shopping trips are a 30+ mile round trip, but although the wife has a shopping trolley (Corsa), we very rarely use it. Come to think of it, since the Rangie arrived, I ain't...

That's an old wife's tale my friend. Yes, using all four barrels will of course vastly degrade mpg, but these are 'progressive' carbs. At low throttle only the smaller barrels are used, so as long as you are light-footed they can be more economical than the standard twin-carb set up. With...

Sorry Spencer, but I'm a die-hard old school petrol-head. Diesels just don't have a place in my world.;) 300bhp [ECU's are fine tbh, 99.99% of all cars manufactured since the mid 80's have them.] Apart from the wife's shopping trolley, this RRC is the first motor I've had that I...

Hi Norseman, Essex Boy eh? I got dragged up in Romford. This one's first Reg in Sept '85. Probably one of the last Pre-EFI ones. A big plus point in my book. I 'm old school ... I understand Carburetters. I understand fuel injection in theory, but not in practice, and I am much happier if...

300bph ... That said I think LPG can be a good idea, but probably a pucker multipoint EFI setup. Have you priced up swapping in something like a chipped Td5? Might not be much more costly, offer up similar or better performance and mid 20's mpg. Thanks for your opinion, but my RR is...

3.5 v8 on carbs, in a 1985 RRC 4dr. 5 speed manual (ie: No injection or computers, or even electric windows, etc.) To improve the 13mpg running costs I've been looking at LPG, but have been advised that a Weber 4 barrel would be similarly ecconomical and give better towing power. New 4...

'allo Spencer. I got 3lt of NeutraRust, 5lt of silver Hammerite, and 10 lt of Bitumin paint. It's the 'on me back' bit I'm not lookin' forward to ... an' it rains a lot 'ere in Wales. Had the back bumper off yesterday, to fit a tow bracket. Rear chassis member nice and sound, but lots of...

Just sticking me nose in to say 'allo. I've been posting queries on the RRR forum, but it's nowhere near as well populated as in here ... so here I am. After 30yrs in the Mob, last thing I wanted was a Land Rover, but I've bin tempted by an '85 RRC 4 door that had been hiding in a garage...
